For example, I heard a couple years ago that Kansas City wouldn't be able to attract an NBA team since the ultra-rich families in Kansas City were more interested in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kauffman_Center_for_the_Performing_Arts" rel="nofollow">building a world-class performing arts center</a> than buying an NBA franchise.<br /><br />Kansas City, in addition to the Nelson-Atkins museum, also has a contemporary arts museum, which is pretty rare for a city its size (from what I understand).<br /><br />I'm not sure exactly what the story is on the shuttle cocks at the Nelson, but they're definitely some of Kansas City's most iconic symbols!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en&q=nelson+shuttlecock&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&sa=X&oi=image_result_group" rel="nofollow">Google Images</a>Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00967364257656897151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-34054000239470495332012-08-06T12:06:54.552-05:002012-08-06T12:06:54.552-05:00Some day, Mark, some day !!

The Nelson Atkins museum is this wonderful gem in our city, and I think its Chinese art exhibits helped inspire me from a young age to have an interest in China.<br /><br />And the ribs at Oklahoma Joe's are the best!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07300945499810331758noreply@blogger.com
